Jemele Hill Stands By Comments, But Apologizes to ESPN For Painting Them ‘In an Unfair Light’

After nary a mention during her SportsCenter broadcast hours earlier, ESPN’s Jemele Hill took to Twitter late Wednesday night “to address the elephant in the room.”

Via the social media platform, Hill issued a statement regarding her Tweet in which she called President Donald Trumpa white supremacist.

The SportsCenter anchor stood by her comments, saying they reflected her “personal beliefs.” But she apologized to ESPN for making the comments in a public manner which pained the network “in an unfair light.”
